First Month of Unemployment.

These last few weeks have been weird because it's been like a whirlwind but a standstill at the same time. I've been in California for the last month and a half. I go back to GA in a few days, and I'm honestly not ready.. but I have to go home and adult.

Miss you already!

I was hoping to have some sort of plan implemented by now, but all Sidney and I have really been doing is relaxing and having fun. Right now, mom-in-law has the baby. She came to pick him up a few minutes ago so she could run errands with her sister and introduce her grandchild to some people. It's been like this the entire time we've been in Cali, and I haven't felt this much peace since before I got pregnant. We've taken trips to San Diego, Rancho Cucamonga, Vegas.. hell even a trip down to the mall feels like a vacation when you don't have to worry about the baby. We were supposed to be in LA right now, but Sidney is under the weather, so I figured I'd hit ya'll with an update, if ya'll care. 

1Oak in Vegas last weekend

As far as the business goes, we've been hitting crossroad after crossroad. We settled on a business, but at this point we're not sure if we should move forward with that, or marijuana because that may be easier, or what. To keep it all the way real, conversations have come up of us just saying fxck everything and just leaving the country altogether. This feeling of impending doom.. the tension that's hovering over USA lately is too thick to ignore. Not sure if it's something we really need to fear or if the media, and social media, is just out to scare us, but shxt will hit the fan either way. Should we just be proactive and get the fxck outta dodge? idk.

I'm learning that implementation is the hardest part of this process. All the second guessing and overthinking is holding us (mostly me) back from taking that first step. Is this the right choice? What if we put our money into this and it doesn't work? What if this happens, or that happens? It's pretty frustrating for me to know that, after all these years, I still don't know how to get out of my own damn head.

It wasn't supposed to be this hard.

At the same time, this IS supposed to be a vacation. Maybe I should have waited until we got back to GA before I even tried to think about it.

Anyway, there are things that are higher on the priority list right now anyway. Health insurance is a headache all by itself. I've never had to shop for it on my own. I've always had it through my parents or my employer so I'm over this process. I got health insurance for us but I'm not sure I made the right choice so I'm still shopping. I also have to do my taxes. Adulting is hard.

We also need to rent the rest of the rooms in our house. This is tricky because we will still live there; we'll be back and forth between there and Cali, so we have to be kind of picky. SO.. if you or someone you know is looking for a room to rent in the Powder Springs area, you can contact me through any of my social media pages. We are pretty laid back BUT we do have a 1-year-old child so we have to draw the line somewhere. lol.

For the sake of not drawing this post out any longer, I will stop here. Shoot me a comment and let me know what you think.

Personal Problem

This is me right now. But Black. LOL So if you know me, you know that it's pretty hard to get me really mad. I've learned over time that there is too much to smile about, too much positivity, too many blessings bestowed upon me for me to get angry and upset over menial things. That extra stress is very unnecessary. However, I do have a personal issue. I DO tend to get stressed out sometimes, but I recognize that it is nobody's fault but my own. The only time this really happens is when I repress what I want to express...and harbor it inside until it becomes such a heavy weight on my shoulders that it becomes unbearably painful. Yea, I know that this may sound surprising to those that check the webshow and/or follow me on Twitter, but sometimes, I am afraid to say what's on my mind. For some, this may not be very surprising at all lol. I usually end up quite depressed because of this. When all I have to do is simply say what's on my mind, I get scared. I freeze up. I

It’s the anniversary of my resignation.

This is the life. God knows it hasn’t been perfect, but it’s been way more exciting than the life I was living before. Still a long way to go! Sidney and I are finally settling on a focus for our business and it looks like we will be moving forward soon. I’m very excited about the idea of having something that’s for US: Working our asses off for our family, instead of a boss or a manager at a 9 to 5. What I’ve learned about starting a business so far is, the process is easier than it seems. Yes you have to have some money and yes it is a LOT of work but to start a small business doesn’t require as much money as one may think. Paperwork seems fairly easy so far. It’s just a matter of how big you want your business to be. And let me tell y’all something about me: My goal here is not to make some ridiculous amount of money. I want a modest lifestyle. I just want to find something that A) we like to do and B) that the community we live in doesn’t have. Or something they have t

So I quit my job today..

.. or rather, submitted a letter of resignation. When I've said that I've been feeling a change coming, this is one of those major things I was talking about. I've been dealing with being unhappy for a long time now. It's not necessarily the job itself, but a JOB IN GENERAL. I sit at this desk every weekday of my life and daydream about a different type of life. I try to work on other endeavors while I'm off, but even something as simple as a hobby is damn near impossible because when I'm not at work, I have mommy duties. When I don't have mommy duties, I'm at work. Sometimes those two things loop into each other. And when I have a moment to have a break from both all I'm trying to do is REST. I thank God every day that I was able to land a great-paying job at a respected agency right out of college. I was hired before I even graduated, which was a huge blessing and I am very proud of that accomplishment. I was convinced that I was going to be th
